Bozeman Symphony and Symphonic Choir
The holiday season in Bozeman shines brightly each December, and this year’s Holiday Spectacular promises to be one of the most joyful celebrations yet. From December 12–14, the Bozeman Symphony brings festive cheer to the Willson Auditorium with a sparkling program of timeless classics, holiday favorites, and an energizing community sing-along.
Under the direction of Maestro Norman Huynh, the Symphony welcomes guest vocalist Terrence Chin-Loy, praised for his “beautiful lyric tenor voice” and expressive musicality. With a career spanning major U.S. houses and recent European debuts, Chin-Loy brings rich emotion and world-class artistry to this treasured holiday event.
The program blends nostalgia and excitement, inviting audiences of all ages to experience the warmth of the season. Expect favorite orchestral selections including A Christmas Festival, I Saw Three Ships, Sleigh Ride, and the beloved Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker. Chin-Loy will shine in moving works such as Ave Maria, Che gelida manina, and Ev’ry Valley Shall Be Exalted.
The Bozeman Symphonic Choir will fill the auditorium with lush harmonies in cherished choral pieces including O Holy Night, Christmas Day, We Need a Little Christmas, and Handel’s triumphant Hallelujah Chorus. Together, the Symphony, choir, and guest soloist create an atmosphere filled with beauty, tradition, and joyful community spirit.
“There’s no finer way to get into the holiday spirit than gathering together to experience the joy of live symphonic music,” says Maestro Huynh.
To meet the high demand for this annual favorite, the Symphony will offer four performances:
– Friday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m.
– Saturday, Dec. 13 at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.
– Sunday, Dec. 14 at 2:30 p.m.
